Theatre: Writing, Directing and Performance, BA Hons FullTime
This degree is brilliant! First of all, the facilities of the Department are excellent: one Blackbox Theatre and one Scene Stage Theatre as well as loads of rehearsal rooms and generally a great department atmosphere!

It's a great choice for anyone interested in truly understanding Theatre, both practically and theoretically!
